Cold Air Intake

[Tyson 1990]

Hey, i have an R33 and i was reading up about cold air intakes. Apparently they sound like they are pretty good for your car, increases performance, increases engine life, increases fuel economy etc.

Would it be worth getting one put in my R33 Non Turbo?

And does anyone know how much they cost?

[gfunkk]

non turbo = dont bother

cold air intake = just a box around your pod to stop exhaust heat raising the intake air temp

wouldnt cost much in materials...

If you have a pod you need one as the air temp under your hood gets pretty high( hot intake air = bad), if you still have your standard air box you can just get a quality filter and it will still flow fine.

- Inlet air temp is jut as important in an n/a application.

Oh ok, thanks. What are pods? Do all cars have them?

a "pod" is an air filter that replaces your stock airbox

in some cars you can gain a small amount of power by replacing the airbox with a pod

nonturbo cars dont gain much power and makes them sound like fart, so dont bother

Im sorry gfunkk if the sound of induction is not to your liking.

Ive had a few n/a cars with a open filter and they sounded great.

Its just a pity about the heat they suck.

TYSON 1990, get some cold air in there mate and a good filter and it will sound and go better (a little bit anyway), you could try a GTS-T CAI or fab up some duct yourself out of some 100mm duct(bunnings ; ), or relocate a pod filter to the front bar (no fun with puddles) or put on a pod but fab or buy a cold air box have a look through justjap.com.au for ideas youll get all the air you need from around the headlight area.
